About the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SR
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MI20X60SR is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built from a stainless-steel barrel and rod. This riveted construction shrugs off mild corrosion, giving it a clear edge over painted alternatives in damp or washdown settings. The 1/8" port feeds the 8 mm rod to drive a 60 mm stroke, while fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the impact at each end. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully primed for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.
For practical sizing, plan for roughly 94 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to safely lifting an 8 kg part vertically with a 2:1 margin. The Ø20 body adheres to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises for easy design integration. The R back cover features an axial-in port orientation, keeping your pneumatic plumbing neatly in line with the cylinder body.

Where the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SR Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Pushes light cardboard cartons on a packaging line using 157 N of thrust, with the stainless body resisting humid warehouse environments.
Small Parts Ejector
Ejects machined plastic components from a lathe, relying on the 60 mm stroke and the R axial-in port to keep pneumatic lines compact.
Lab Sample Handler
Moves test tubes vertically, safely lifting an 8 kg rack with a 2:1 margin while the DMSG sensor confirms the bottom position.
Is the Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SR the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 60 mm stroke model, verify your actual load against the 157 N push and 131.9 N pull figures at 0.5 MPa. If your application needs less force, the Ø16 bore provides 100.5 N of push; stepping up to the Ø25 bore yields 245.3 N for heavier demands. Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to suspend a load safely. The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and will not act as a brake.
The integrated -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke confirmation. You can mount this unit using LB foot brackets, FA flanges, SDB pivot blocks or TC trunnions. With a 60 mm stroke on an 8 mm rod, side-load risks remain low, but always ensure the rod alignment is true to prevent premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MI16-20 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI20X60SR FAQ
This Ø20 mm cylinder features a 1/8" port and an 8 mm rod. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the base MI uses fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end but are not an adjustable air cushion; for adjustable cushioning look at the MIC variant. However, the -S magnet in this SKU allows you to mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing.
